Obama shifts with political winds

For Immediate
Release May 9, 2012

LEXINGTON, KY—"It's a funny thing
about politicians whose views 'evolve' on controversial issues," said Martin
Cothran, in response to the announcement today by President Barack Obama that he
approves of same-sex marriage. “They always seem to evolve in the direction in which the political winds are blowing."

Obama's remarks come the same day that
most Americans found out that North Carolina citizens voted in favor of the
traditional view of marriage. "Although it's becoming increasingly common for
politicians to kowtow to liberal special interest groups, when this issue is put
before people, they still vote to keep the traditional definition of marriage,"
said Cothran, spokesman for The Family Foundation.

"There are people whose moral
convictions shift with the polls and there are people whose moral convictions
are tied to something more permanent. The President has made it clear today
which camp he's in."

The President was right when he supported same-sex marriage in 1996. I'm glad he now feels politically comfortable in supporting it again. There is no honor in being the last segregationist; you just look like a bigot.
